What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Dodge City, KS wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at May 6, 3:54 PM CDT, 1 minute earlier.

Area forecast discussion, May 6, 3:54 PM CDT, 1 minute before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DODGE CITY KS
354 PM CDT TUE MAY 6 2008

.DISCUSSION...

DAYS 1-2...

A DEEP UPPER TROUGH WAS PROGRESSING EAST ACROSS NORTHERN OLD
MEXICO AND THE DESERT SOUTHWEST TODAY. A DRYLINE EXTENDED FROM
NEAR LAS VEGAS NM TO FAR SE COLORADO. A SUBTLE WARM FRONT EXTENDED
ESE FROM THE DRYLINE INTO SOUTHWEST KANSAS. A STORM DEVELOPED BY
EARLY AFTERNOON IN PROWERS COUNTY AT THIS INTERSECTION. DEWPOINT
DEPRESSIONS WILL BE FAIRLY HIGH THIS AFTERNOON SO TORNADIC STORMS
ARE UNLIKELY. THE SHEAR PROFILE IS NOT THAT GREAT YET EITHER.
HOWEVER, HIGHER DEWPOINTS WERE SURGING NORTH INTO EASTERN NM AND
WEST TEXAS. TORNADO CHANCES COULD INCREASE LATER THIS EVENING ALONG
AND AHEAD OF AN EASTERN, MORE SUBTLE DRYLINE THAT WILL EXTEND FROM
NEAR HUGOTON TO CLOVIS. BUT COMPLICATING MATTERS EVEN MORE IS A
MESOHIGH OVER WEST TEXAS THAT HAS TEMPORARILY AFFECTED THE LOW
LEVEL WIND FIELD.

AS THE UPPER TROUGH PROGRESSES EASTWARD THIS AFTERNOON, A 115KT
JET STREAK WILL NOSE INTO SOUTHWEST TEXAS. THIS JET MAY HELP
INITIATE STORMS WELL SOUTH OF OUR FCST AREA TODAY. THE STORMS
ONGOING OVER WEST CENTRAL KANSAS WILL MOVE ACROSS MUCH OF WESTERN
AND CENTRAL KS TONIGHT, ESPECIALLY NORTH OF DDC.

THE UPPER SYSTEM WILL PASS TO OUR SW AND SOUTH LATE TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY.
SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL BE LIKELY FROM DDC SOUTH. THESE STORMS
WILL PROBABLY NOT BE SEVERE SINCE THE LOW LEVEL WILL BE MUCH MORE
STABLE DUE TO OVERNIGHT STORMS AND DIURNAL COOLING.

ANOTHER SHORTWAVE TROUGH WILL APPROACH BY THURSDAY. STORMS MAY INITIATE
LATE IN THE DAY NEAR THE DRYLINE/FRONT INTERSECTION AND THEN BUILD
INTO AN MCS OVERNIGHT ACROSS PARTS OF SOUTHWEST AND CENTRAL KS.

DAYS 3-7...

THE NEXT SHORTWAVE TROUGH IS FORECAST FOR SATURDAY WITH A CHANCE FOR
THUNDERSTORMS, THEN RIDGING INCREASES INTO MONDAY WITH A WARMING
TREND. BY TUESDAY THE ECMWF AND THE GFS ARE IN DISAGREEMENT WITH THE
NEXT TROUGH PLACEMENT. WILL HEDGE TOWARD THE WARMER ECMWF FOR THE
TEMPERATURES. OVERNIGHT LOWS SHOULD STAY FAIRLY MILD IN THE 40S AND
50S WITH HIGHS IN THE MID AND UPPER 70S FRIDAY, LOW 70S FOR THE
WEEKEND, THEN WARMING TO THE MID 70S FOR MONDAY AND TUESDAY.

.AVIATION...

LOOK FOR SOME SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS TO FORM MAINLY IN THE HAYS REGION
AFTER 5 PM WITH SOME MORE WIDELY SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS IN THE
DODGE CITY AND GARDEN CITY TAF AREAS. IF A LARGE AREA OF OTHER
THUNDERSTORMS FORMS SOUTH OF KANSAS INTO WEST TEXAS THEN THE DODGE
CITY AREA COULD BE BETWEEN STORMS NORTH AND STORMS SOUTH. A COLD
FRONT IS FORECAST TO MOVE FROM THE GOODLAND AREA TOWARD HAYS AND
GARDEN CITY AROUND MIDNIGHT WITH POSSIBLY A LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS
ALONG IT. SOME STRATUS MAY ALSO FORM BEHIND THE COLD FRONT FOR A FEW
HOURS.
